Acts10:23
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
He delays not to obey the Heavenly vision; but as Abraham took his journey the very next morning after that he had received the command, Gen. 22.3. so did Peter here, and bis dat, qui cito dat, he doubles his obedience, that obeys speedily and chearfully.
These Brethren were six in number, as Chap. 11.12. who might undertake this journey, 1. Out of respect to Peter, to accompany him. 2. Being moved at the extraordinary visions that were spoken of; but especially, 3. disposed by the Providence of God to accompany St. Peter, that they might testifie the grace of God that was come unto the Gentiles, when it might be afterwards questioned.
